Police have arrested “porn star” strippers for the crime of exposing themselves at a strip show held at a decades old Shinjuku strip club, after it was pointed out that “they will shame Japan if we get the Olympics.”

The strip club, operating in the heart of Shinjuku’s famed Kabukichou sex district, was known as “Kabukichou T.S. Music” and opened in 1985, boasting the distinction of employing actual AV performers for its shows.

Despite having been in business for over 25 years, police suddenly identified it as “especially pernicious” due to its strippers actually stripping to the point of exposing their genitals, and the fact it loaned out cameras to patrons so they could better document this phenomenon.

It also boasted annual sales of 200 million yen and “was popular with Chinese tour groups,” perhaps in part due to some of its strippers having appeared in “over 100” adult videos.

Police raided the premises and arrested the 41-year-old manager along with 10 strippers aged 24 to 39. The charges relate to indecent performances in which the women would expose their genitals to patrons, otherwise known as strip shows.

Police were reportedly acting in response to anonymous claims that “their shows are amongst the nation’s most extreme, and if Tokyo hosts the Olympics it will shame Japan.”

As usual with such seemingly random crackdowns, business at the capital’s thousands of other brothels and officially sanctioned red light districts appears to be unaffected.

The disturbingly selective enforcement of the law which Japan’s police are known for – to say nothing of them picking on “harmless” strip clubs or the general lack of enthusiasm with which most Tokyo residents have greeted their city’s Olympic bid – have all been proving controversial:

“What’s wrong with these people, like we need this sort of crackdown!”

Shaming Japan? Really? Do they want to be considered the most stuck-up nation to where people only look at them as organic robots (android or cyborg, your choice). I never fully understood the idea of shame. Is it how others look at them negatively? Most nations that had the Olympics has strip clubs, porn, burlesques, etc. Who are they trying to impress? And censoring genitals? Might as well censor nature itself? I never looked forward to Japanese porn because of it until it’s imported. Shame, decency, morality, pride… they’re all personal views, nothing factual, and forcing that on people just seems selfish in some way.

those poor poor souls. Having no choice but to masturbate to pixel porn/hentai. And now this. Isn’t this why rating systems was invented? So we had the right to watch porn, we had the right to go to strip clubs 😛

The Japanese don’t know much about the Olympic games, do they? The Athletes will use every free second they have to bone each other anyway. In 2010 Vancouver Winter Olypics the ~6500 Athletes were given 100000 condoms, and that wasn’t enough.
How is a stip club gonna shame the country compared to that?

More like it’ll shame Japan if tourists go to a strip club and the dancers DON’T show their genitals.

The Olympics are a curse anyway… They tend to suck massive amounts of cash out of their host cities as costs balloon over projected amounts, and the hosts fall all over themselves to build grandiose monuments for the events that will turn to ghost towns after everyone leaves… Was Nagano really that good for Japan?

Heh, how stupid. The only thing Japan should be ashamed of is it’s moralism, it’s retrograde thinking politicians, and actions just like this one.
If anything, tourists would be highly pleased if the mosaic censorship bullshit ended and more clubs like this one would be encouraged in an organized fashion.
As long as it’s restricted to adults, which country in the entire world would complain about this? Which country would have any reason to?
Sometimes it feels like the government and whichever organization that issued this bust is run by a bunch of virgins living in the dark ages or something.

The funny thing is most countries including the US do not give a single fuck is you have strip joints were they show full nudity.
Even cities in the über conservative Midwest still have strip joints where you get to see full nudity.
The only one who are offended are backwards shitholes that really do not matter.
Their police acting like keystone cops is far more shameful then even having a full on whore house in down town Tokyo.
PS I’m an American.

I doubt this would effect their bid.Rio has a high crime rate, with Favelas full of drug gangs ;that the police don’t even really want to go into the mess.But then again, it’s whoever can bet(bribe) the most on their bid, and convince it’s for the betterment of the Olympics.

well with black bars, you have no idea what’s going on back there, with pixels, you have some kind of idea of what’s there. what I dont get is, why do they black bar the eyes and pixelate naughty (or nasty) bits? shouldn’t it be the other way around?

same reason of other developed countries, tax havens/avoidance, a broken financial system with high unemployment and the continued ignoring by the advances in automation and so forth. Do you want to raise a child with an unstable job that pays miserably? (rethorical)

Thats what their dildoes and other sex toys are for so they can experiment to where to stick what and what to stick where. Also they get hands on tutorials with their ma and pa as what I have seen in most of their instructional videos.

Centuries later – provided low birthrates don’t kill them off first – natural selection in Japan gives rise to a new population born with mosaic genitals, since they are the only ones anyone knows how to do the nasty with.

Speaking seriously for a moment, why would anyone want to give the Olympics to a country that is basically falling into the sea every 5 years now it seems ? What if there is another brutal earthquake and tsunami DURING the games itself ? Not to mention the appalling human rights abuses inflicted on the Chinese and allied forces during WWII, meaning that Japan should be shunned from all international sports across the board. Venomous nation, who will absolutely hate all visitors who visit there for the games. Give the 2018 games to a more deserving country, such as The USA or France.
